can QEMU installed on a windows 10 host run a windows 11 guest? ok I have QEMU installed on a windows 10 machine and I want to install a windows 11 guest onto it, however I keep running into the not compatible hardware issue even after I tell windows 11 registry to skip tpm, safeboot, and ram check. I looked through the switches and there is -tpmdev however this looks to be a linux only switch.
Has anyone successfully got windows 11 installed on the windows version of QEMU?
I have tried doing searches for this but i dont come up with any answers. I have also tried running qtemu and fiddling with the settings and cant even get it to launch with qtemu.
I am also wondering what kind of architecture qemu defaults to (im assuming the latest q35) and which cpu it defaults to (im assuming max) if you dont specify them with the powershell switches.
lastly the host hardware is running a ryzen 7 5800x cpu so no haxm support as far as i can tell since i think that is just for intel machines. This brings up another question is it worth running qemu without an accelerator (seems like haxm is the only thing available for windows)? or does qemu have its own for amd?

i re-edited back to the original because the person who edited my question ended up changing the actual question. please if you edit don't change the question. in this particular case the editor rewrote the question to say the host machine did not have windows 11 compatible hardware (which it does and is not the problem). they also removed the bits about me putting in the effort to find the solution which helps against people posting some obscure link and then stating that on their google search with their google history this obscure article which did not come up on my searches has the answer. please when editing do not get rid of this information. if one is going to edit someones question edit very very lightly and if one doesnt understand something then simply dont edit it or stick to something like capitalizing all the i's that i have not capitalized. also one should be mindful that when talking about servers or code or anything else that specifically not capitalizing something or specifically wording something wonky might very well be on purpose due to commands having .'s in them or warnings being badly translated from some other language. really wish stack exchange had a edt request button where you can suggest a question edit to the original poster and give reasons as to why you suggest those edits and the original poster can then determine if they are infact good or if they actually change the question in the first place. or give the original question asker a lock button to prevent edits. if someone does feel like they want to edit this then please feel free adding caps to i's and beginning of sentences and spaces to my infacts but please do not change the original questions info.
for people who want just the bare nitty gritty with absolutely no fluff:
host machine: windows 10 running windows version of qemu
guest machine: windows 11 gives error saying it is not installed on compatible hardware
fixes attempted:
--setting windows 11 installer to ignore compatibility checks via registry
--setting windows 11 to run as a server install via command line
--running qemu from qtemu and fiddling with settings in there including what cpu to use
----qtemu fails to run a qemu instance at all reguardless of settings but i did not exhaust all settings possible
